More Like Scrub Out

We have all seen them: professionals in scrubs. Yes, surgeons don this comfortable uniform, what some may consider glorified pajamas, but dentists, nurses, physical therapists, random technicians, and receptionists also choose these over other outfits. I understand that when one works in a situation where they risk getting bodily fluids are all over them, scrubs are a perfectly acceptable outfit. The wearer wouldn't be concerned about ruining their "professional outfit," as they probably have a gazillion other pairs of scrubs and they can easily be thrown in the wash. However, I am seriously confused as to why the person who simply answers the phone and schedules appointments for your orthodontist feels the need to wear this outfit? Are they worried someone is going to spontaneously barf or bleed all over them? Or perhaps they just want to look like surgeons when they go on their lunch break in their scrubs. However, if they would take a break from answering their phones and watched just one episode of Grey's Anatomy, they would realize these surgeons don't even wear their scrubs out and about, but rather change out of their scrubs before they leave the hospital. This all goes back to the fact that doctors have a use for scrubs, to wear and get dirty instead of their real clothes. It would be disgusting if they wore their dirty scrubs to Forever 21 randomly after work (which apparently is the outfit to wear at this particular store on random week nights). Plus, if you are shopping for clothes, why don't you wear those to work instead of scrubs, they are bound to be more flattering and professional looking than the kangaroo or flower patterns you picked up at Walmart when you went grocery shopping last week. Those whose jobs don't require scrubs should follow in Meredith Grey's footsteps and realize that by wearing their "uniform" out and about they are admitting to having more skills with a telephone than with a scalpel.
